While contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) offered the highest agreement with histopathology on the extent of malignancy in a new study, researchers found the use of pre-op CEM had no impact on mastectomy or reoperation rates.

A Kaiser score > 5 with breast MRI demonstrated a 97 percent sensitivity and 87.9 percent specificity for predicting malignancy in patients with BI-RADS 0 or 4 presentations on mammography and breast ultrasound, according to a new study.

In a recent interview, Gadi Lalazar, MD, discussed new research demonstrating the capability of natural language processing (NLP) to enhance recognition of incidental hepatic steatosis in ultrasound reports.

Report One, reportedly the first agentic reporting tool specifically geared to breast imaging, is one of three new products that will be showcased by MagView at the upcoming RSNA conference.

The Evident Vascular Guidance System and Evident peripheral imaging catheters reportedly offer enhanced image clarity and workflow efficiencies for intravascular ultrasound.

In the latest episode of his “Interventional Radiology in Focus” series, Mina Makary, MD, discusses the evolution, research and pearls for ablation procedures, and emerging considerations for histotripsy in the realm of interventional oncology.

New research suggests CCTA may provide salient preoperative insights into planning for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) while facilitating similar outcomes as intravascular ultrasound guidance for target-vessel failure.
